There are millionaires and billionaires in Europe though, so clearly it is possible to have decent work-life balance and still support the excesses of a rich upper class, assuming that’s a requirement.
The amount of productivity lost because of paid leave is almost negligible, study after study has shown that people are less productive the more overworked they are. So staff with no time off work longer hours but are less productive for those hours, the end result is it pretty much equals out. If it didn’t, the US economy would be doing better then it is, €1 is $1.16.
The trick is that so much is tied to our employment, including health care. Wanna start a ruckus and get fired? Cool, you’ll lose your health insurance and the cancer will kill you. It’s not like the company down the street is any better.
This is insane. Why would you put up with this?
Because some people need to have multiple hyper-yachts and who are we to stand in their way?

The exchange rate isn’t really the best indicator of the economy because either side can print more or take excess money out of circulation.
Not that your other points are wrong or anything. Just wanted to point that little thing out.
What the fuck am I going to do about it? Get arrested bringing the people responsible a lake city quiet pill?
Well what do you have to lose?
